Ukraine’s president makes surprise video appearance Saturday (March 26th) at Qatar Forum in Doha, urging energy-rich country and others to increase production to offset loss of Russian energy supplies .
Volodymyr Zelenskyy called on the United Nations and world powers to come to his aid, as he has done in a number of other speeches around the world since the start of the war on 24 February. “They are destroying our ports,” Zelenskyy said.
“The lack of exports from Ukraine will deal a blow to countries around the world,” he said. The loss of Ukrainian wheat has already worried Middle Eastern countries like Egypt, which relies on those exports.
Zelensky called on countries to increase their energy exports – something particularly important as Qatar is a world leader in natural gas exports.
He criticized Russia for what he described as threatening the world with its nuclear weapons, increasing the possibility of using tactical nuclear weapons on the battlefield.
“Russia is thinking of boasting that it can destroy with nuclear weapons, not just a certain country, but the whole planet,” Zelensky said.
He also noted that Muslims in Ukraine will have to fight during the next month of Ramadan fasting.
“We must make sure that this holy month of Ramadan is not overshadowed by the misery of the people in Ukraine,” he said.
